I've got to ask seeing as this was in America....
If the police saw the people responsible running away, why didn't they shoot them. It's the American way.

Clearly the NRA will respond not enough good guys with guns to shoot back. :roll:

this is very sad. I guess it's part of the process of "growing up" for the country.

on another note, WTF is a mother's day parade?

Did they see the baddies running away?

Officers saw three people running from the scene immediately

They could have been innocent bystanders who were running for cover.

I agree they did the right thing, but I'm used to Americans shooting first and asking questions later.

I am not used to it, but still think running is the sensible thing to do. Harder target at least as well. What is it with the media accusing people of running from gunfire as having something to hide?
